In over my head! In Canada, need help!!!!

[Vapoor eyes er]

You and Katya definitely started me on the right path, I am very happy with this product and wouldn't have ordered it without your input! So huge thanks to you two as well It is everything I wanted without the high cost of a blu and way better reviews. I sent Heather at SI a thank you email as well, will be recommending this product to my smoking friends

USPS be damned, it was worth the wait!

People think we're nutz for spending all this time on ECF but this here is what it's all about. So very gratifying. We may have had something to do with it but...you can't lead a horse.....
That's so very sweet sending the email thanking Heather at SI for all her assistance. I know it's a business but many of these companies began because like ALL of us (you're now included in "us" ) they believed in helping others with this horrible addiction.

Also left my pa with a battery and carto for the night, he likes it too He still wants a good e cigar though, and I will help him find the right one for him.

LOLLL and your first convert. I know there are cigar PVs available. By tomorrow I'll have some links. Also some really good cigar flavors floating around.

 

[Katya]

Thank you for your kind words, Shane. We're just paying it forward, you know. We've all been helped when we first got here. We knew nothing about e-cigs and what was available at the time (when I joined) was pretty bad. This forum has helped countless people, including me, and has been instrumental is improving the quality and safety of vaping around the world.

Thanks, Smokey Joe, for starting it!

That is the truth right there! If I can help anyone kick those things it is worth it. A good friend of mine had a comment a couple days ago on FB commenting on his love/hate relationship with smokes. I told him today I am going there to get him to try this volt, I guarantee he will be sold as well. But as for my first convert, a little backwards are you (yoda voice lol) my pa is the one who bought that over priced pos Libre Leon from smokefeeonline kiosk, I was kind of his convert lol. If he didn't buy it, and let me try it, I wouldn't even be here!

I don't know who this Smokey Joe is, but I feel at this point I owe him a beer or few dozen lol

 

[Katya]

Smokey Joe is the Founding Father of ECF. He created this forum in 2008. At that time, we had two choices: 3-piece (atomizers) and 2-piece (cartomizers).

We all owe him (and others who joined the fray) a beer.

Well than, in Smokey Joe I trust! (F our government for banning this!)

Anyone reading this for a first time - try it! I am amazed and hooked on not putting so much crap in my body, and if you try it you will be too! I know a lot about the radioactive fertilizers they use in tobacco plants, I have a pretty GREEN thumb from me and my brother making our own strain of "green". That fertilizer which doesn't get completely absorbed by tobacco is one of the worst things you can put in your body, not too mention the other thousand chemicals that get you hooked and keep you there. I'm never looking back, and if my gov goes illegal instead of a ban, I will move south no questions asked!!!!

Re: cleaning the walls. We hear about TSP all the time. A friend who owns a successful restoration company (fire. water, etc) told me decades ago he uses no name windshield fluid to clean light amounts of smoke damage from painted walls. Example: used it last Summer on a friends home that was desperate to sell but had limited funds...AMAZING. Even her hubby who had balked at the $1,000.00 est from me couldn't believe the diff. Previous they couldn't sell @ $200 K. After I was finished- small repairs, painted kitchen, new kitchen hardware/ lights, basement lights and washed all the walls- asked 219K and actually ended up with 230 cuz of a bidding war. It wasn't about the $$ but about helping a friend...funny thing is he never liked me before and now thinks I'm a great guy. Funny thing profits and money.

Have spoken to my wife already and if it is banned I will supply people via black market...could/ couldn't believe it but she was in complete agreement.

 

[Papashanz]

And now, I must start cleaning! I really can't wait to get this smell out of my house! Thanks again Katya and Vapoor, you guys are a wealth of knowledge I am so happy you two started me down this path I give it about a couple months before I upgrade to a bigger better system. I am also a machinist, so I will be always looking for ways to make a better unit. I'll be back a bit later tonight, take care you two, you are the best

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

And you also take care. Have a GREAT evening and thanks very much once again for the positive update.
Sincerely, Dan.

 

[Katya]

Let's hope it doesn't come to this. Prohibition worked really well in this country. And that war on drugs is also enormously successful...

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Good night y'all! Congrats again, Shane!

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Good Night Katya and take care.

Has been since 2009, not to be sold here hence the customs problems. There is ways around this as you know (I'm talking nic not the hardware or 0% juice). I can see our conservative gov going illegal if Harper get's a sniff of how much money is going other places. But like some people who challenged this in states did, threaten them with potential lawsuit of not providing a safer alternative after family members die of tobacco related cancers.

I know a few politicians....not friends but acquaintances from past activist activities- actually converted 3 of their family members. They told me the Govt is afraid to take it through the justice system cuz it would put the word about about vaping and its healthier aspects. Right now they're waiting to see what the U.S. does.

And doesn't surprise me at all after what you said about her being a complete sweetheart and never complaining about your previous stinky habit She probably wants the same for other non smoking wives, a healthier, better smelling husband!!!

Then they better get off their asses because FDA has lost a few court cases now. Truth is vaping is here to stay, illegal or not. If black market is what they want it will happen and they will not get their greedy hands on any of it like so many other prohibited substances. Best not to get me started right now, specially as someone who gets drug tested on a regular basis to make a decent living LOL!

Truth be told, we are probably living in the golden era right now for vaping. Not illegal, and not taxed either. No matter which way they take it, it will cost us more of our hard earned dollars. They make it illegal it, black market steps up and cost goes up. They legalize it, tax the crap out of it, cost go up even further. I'm almost thinking this is the way to keep it forever, in that nice grey area

 

[Papashanz]

I am thinking vaping adds another healthy addition to our bodies. For instance, every once in a while I go to my rents house to partake in their beautiful steam shower (love that thing, sinuses never felt so good!). After a long day of smoking analogs, get into the steam shower and by the end I cough up a large amount of brown ugly stuff (this is not usual, don't do that unless use the steam shower or if I'm in a particularly steamy/moist part of my work) . When I started vaping today, I did the same thing. Not only are your lungs immune system (cilia) working from not being exposed to smoke, but I believe now the water vapor from steam (and possibly from water vapor from vaping) are adhering to the sticky tar substances in your lungs. Possibility that vaping actually helps pull the crap from your lungs? Time will tell....

 

[Papashanz]

Well time for an update. Loving every minute of it! Still haven't bought a pack of stinks It is truly amazing how much my sense of smell and taste have come back in these few short days of vaping. Was slow to do it, but ordered my first three bottles of juice from canvape today and another 5 cartos, priority shipping again but from in Canada so I'm sure I'll have them middle of next week. I had a question for them and my email was answered super fast and after business hours so I'm sure I am going to love their customer service Also heard back from SI, and they said they are indeed looking at other shipping options right now so big love there too!

For my pa, he got some disposable Cohita from epuffer. Shipping was good but vapor amount and taste plus hard draw made them not near as nice as his over priced unit from smokefreeonline unfortunately. He did receive his cartos from said company under another name, so he is still happy puffing on those. For as much as it cost's, I am quite impressed as of now, big vapor and really good taste. There is also another kind of disposable he ordered from the many links I sent him waiting at the post office, I will comment the name and quality once I try them out for all cigar guys out there. Think I'm also going to start a thread on cigars after I do as well, there isn't a lot of them around and good to have an updated thread.

Either way, money sent to SI was some of the best I've spent in a long time!!!! Still incredibly happy
